I joined Rod Liddle on Times Radio to give my take on what the recent UK local election results truly mean for British politics. I've been arguing for years that the future of this country's politics would come down to the battle between the Greens and Reform — and I believe that's exactly what we're now seeing. There is deep, widespread discontent with the old parties and with neoliberalism, and people across the spectrum are channeling that into anti-establishment votes, whether for the Greens or for Reform. The real question now isn't Labour vs Conservative — people clearly don't want either of those anymore. The question is: which direction do we want to go in, and who has the actual vision to lead us there?
